About
Many of my friends say that I’m a “Child of the Sixties” and I must agree.
Over the years I have gone from a “Goldwater Republican” too a “Robert Kennedy Democrat” and find no contradiction in that switch.
As a distant relative to Judge Learned Billings Hand, often known as the “First Free Speech Judge”, I come by “Liberalism” honestly and naturally.
Growing up I always wanted to be a writer, no wonder I enjoyed the Walton’s when it was a hit TV show, and blame that “bug” on Mr. Backus (11th grade English) and the Warren Harding publication “The Cauldron.”
Born in England of an English “Mum” and a “Yank” Dad has given me a more “Continental” outlook on the social and political aspects of life, throw in Viet Nam Era Vet; Kent State University student May 4th, 1970; Businessman; first openly “gay” candidate for local office Warren, Ohio; an elected John Kerry Alternate-Delegate to the 2004 DNC plus being in a committed life partner relationship for almost 20 years and you have the internals of what makes this “Baby Boomer” tick.

Tristan, you have put a lot of time, effort, and thought into your website and its entries. Much to think about! Bill
Appreciate the support and comments.
Tristen,
Very thought-provoking blog. Keep up the great work.

I was wandering through some of the blogs and was surprised to see your mention of my story about the small town of Columbiana, Ohio. I was pleased because I honestly wondered if anyone ever read all those stories I wrote for the Ohio Motorist Magazine.
I would invite you to check out my blog, http://www.onetanktrips.com and welcome any suggestions you might have for stories that I can do in the Warren-Youngstown area.
Regards,
